Ingredients

- 1 carrot, julienned
- 1 avocado, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar

Instructions
- Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until cooked.

- Assemble the Bowl: Fluff the cooked rice and divide it into bowls. Top with the cooked salmon, cucumber, carrot, and avocado.
